Chapter 143: Trouble Arises During Filming, Survival in Difficult Circumstances

After filming began, production proceeded smoothly and efficiently. However, beneath the calm surface, an undercurrent of crisis was quietly brewing. Initially, everything went according to plan; the actors were in good spirits, and filming progressed steadily. After recovering his health, Lin Yu quickly regained his form, immersing himself fully in the role and vividly portraying the protagonist's complex emotions, earning unanimous praise from the entire crew.

However, their good fortune was short-lived. During the filming of a crucial outdoor fight scene, an unexpected incident occurred. The crew was shooting according to plan on an open lawn at the estate, with various professional filming equipment set up around them. Everyone was performing their duties, and everything was ready. Just as the actors began their intense fight, a sudden gust of wind swept through the air. This wind came without warning, instantly knocking over several cameras and causing chaos on set.

"Protect the equipment!" Ling Yichen shouted, and he and other staff rushed forward to try to stabilize the equipment that was being tossed about by the strong wind. However, the wind was too strong, and several cameras were damaged to varying degrees. One of the key high-definition cameras had its lens shattered and was no longer usable.

The sudden gust of wind not only damaged the equipment but also disrupted the filming schedule. The actors were also quite startled by the unexpected situation, and the originally tense and exciting fight scenes had to be interrupted. Ling Yichen looked at the damaged equipment, his brow furrowed, his heart filled with worry. This high-definition camera was one of the most important pieces of equipment for filming this drama, and its shooting quality was crucial to presenting the exciting action scenes in the drama. Now that it was damaged, finding a replacement of the same model in a short period of time would not be easy.

"What are we going to do? We still have many important fight scenes to shoot, and without this camera, the shooting quality will definitely be greatly reduced," the director said anxiously.

After a moment of contemplation, Ling Yichen said, "Let's contact the equipment rental company first to see if they have any spare cameras of the same model available for rent. At the same time, we'll arrange for staff to conduct a preliminary inspection of the damaged camera to see if it can be repaired in a short time."

The film crew sprang into action. Xiao Li, responsible for contacting equipment rental companies, made countless calls, but the responses were disappointing. Almost all the rental companies stated that the same model of high-definition camera had already been pre-ordered and could not be provided in the short term. The technicians who inspected the damaged camera also brought bad news: the lens was severely damaged and needed to be returned to the factory for repair, which would take at least a week.

"A week is too long. Our filming schedule can't afford to wait," Jun Mozhan said anxiously.

Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, Ling Yichen suddenly thought of a solution. He remembered seeing a similar camera in a film crew he had worked with before. Although the model wasn't exactly the same, after some adjustments, it should be able to meet their filming needs. Ling Yichen immediately contacted the person in charge of that film crew, and after some communication and negotiation, they agreed to lend them the camera, but on the condition that it be returned within three days.

"Three days is a tight schedule, but we must complete this part of the filming," Ling Yichen said firmly to the crew.

After resolving the camera issue, the crew resumed filming. However, new problems arose. During the filming of an emotionally charged indoor scene, the female lead suddenly forgot her lines and was unable to complete the scene smoothly multiple times. This not only affected her own mood but also the actors she was acting opposite, making the atmosphere on set extremely tense.

"What's going on? How come you keep forgetting your lines for such an important scene?" the director said, somewhat angrily.

The female lead looked guilty, her eyes reddening: "I'm sorry, director, I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm not feeling well today, my mind is completely blank."

Ling Yichen and Jun Moran walked over to the female lead and gently comforted her: "Don't rush, let's rest for a bit and get in shape before filming again. You can try to recall the character's emotions and state of mind, and fully immerse yourself in the role."

After a short rest and adjustment, the female lead returned to the set. This time, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried to calm herself down. The moment the director yelled "Action!", she seemed like a different person, delivering her lines with full emotion, perfectly capturing the character's inner pain and struggle. The scene was finally filmed smoothly, and the set erupted in enthusiastic applause.

However, before the crew could even celebrate, another problem arose. Due to continuous filming and various unforeseen circumstances, the filming schedule had fallen behind schedule. To catch up, the crew had to arrange for actors and staff to work overtime. But the long hours of intense work left everyone exhausted, work efficiency began to decline, and even some minor mistakes occurred.

"This can't go on. Everyone is too tired. If we continue working overtime, it might affect the quality of the filming," Jun Mo Ran said worriedly.

Ling Yichen realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to adjust the filming schedule, rationally arrange working hours, and allow everyone sufficient rest time to ensure filming quality. He also organized a team-building activity for the crew, hoping to relieve stress and enhance team cohesion.

During the team-building activity, everyone played games, chatted, and shared fun stories and challenges from the filming process. Laughter echoed throughout the venue, dispelling the previously tense atmosphere. Smiles returned to everyone's faces, and team cohesion was further strengthened.

However, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan knew that this was only part of the challenges during filming, and they might encounter more unexpected difficulties in the future.
